In Dallas, the concern about the team's offensive line has been present all training camp. The same goes for Dallas' lack of wide receiver depth. Both problems showed up against the Raiders. Asked what Cowboys fans might be thinking at home after the 3-0 win over the Raiders, the team's owner was sanguine.

"But candidly, we had a point of emphasis, which were mistakes in the kicking game," Jones continued. "Kicking game mistakes are the worst kind you can make because they can totally change the field or the possession, and we did that a lot tonight. But that will give us something to work on, and give these officials something to work on when weâve got them paid out here working with us at camp they can earn their chow."

It's early in the preseason. There is no reason to panic. But we often have seen offenses that struggle badly in August carry those troubles into September. The Cowboys need to get healthy and get their lineup settled over the next month.
